Hi all, I got fed up with looking at rate control information via dmesg and so I have started fleshing out an ioctl API to fetch said information from the driver and punt it to userland. The current API is under development and will likely involve a few more development cycles to make it truely useful. The tool is in tools/ath/ath/athratestats/. It currently lets you dump the sample rate control statistics for a given MAC address (whatever is listed in 'ifconfig wlanX list sta'. It operates on the driver rate control setup, so you actually run it on the athX interface, not the wlanX interface. That may be a bit sub-optimal and unclear for now. Unfortunately, implementing "get all statistics for all nodes" is rather difficult due to locking constraints. I'll look at resolving that particular issue in the future. I'd appreciate whatever feedback you all may have. Adrian
